Hardy Kiwi – Actinidia arguta Seeds | 50 Cold Hardy Kiwi Berry Vine Seeds | Fast Growing Edible Fruit Vine | Zones 4–8

Grow your own sweet, grape-sized kiwi berries with these 50 Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta) seeds. This fast-growing, deciduous woody vine can reach 25–30 feet and produces smooth-skinned, edible fruits that are sweeter than grocery store kiwis—and can be eaten without peeling.

In spring, clusters of small greenish-white fragrant flowers appear, followed by 1-inch kiwi berries that ripen in late summer to early fall. The lush dark green foliage makes this vine an attractive choice for trellises, arbors, fences, pergolas, and patio covers.

Hardy Kiwi tolerates temperatures down to -25°F, making it an excellent option for gardeners in cooler climates who still want homegrown tropical-style fruit. Plants are dioecious, meaning you will need both male and female plants for fruit production. Vines typically begin bearing fruit in 3–4 years.

You will receive:
✔️ 50 Hardy Kiwi seeds
✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds
✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions
✔️ Suitable for Zones 4–8
